Learn Italian: Noi abbiamo fretta, vediamo il treno e corriamo. - We are in a hurry, we see the train and we run.

In Italian, you don't say you "are" in a hurry; you say you "have" a hurry. The expression is avere fretta. Since the subject is "we", we use the matching form of avere, which is abbiamo. You will see this "have" pattern with other states of being too, like being hungry (avere fame) or being cold (avere freddo).

How do verbs like vedere and correre change to match "we"?

This sentence is a perfect example of regular -ere verbs! To make the "we" form, you drop the -ere from the dictionary form of the verb and add -iamo. So vedere (to see) becomes vediamo (we see), and correre (to run) becomes corriamo (we run).

Is the -iamo ending for vediamo and corriamo only used for -ere verbs?

Actually, no! One of the friendliest rules in Italian is that the "we" form almost always ends in -iamo, no matter what kind of regular verb it is. Whether it is an -are, -ere, or -ire verb, the ending for "we" stays exactly the same.

Why is there a noi at the start of the sentence, but not before vediamo or corriamo?
